ENDURA Germany Westminster Triple Chime 7 Day Mantel Clock With Jewels (vintage, limited edition) IT WORKS PERFECTLY WELL AND SOUNDS GREAT! The case is all wood (with original finish) with brass design and glass door, NO KEY. All is exactly as you can see on pictures. Has German Westminster Chime movement manufactured and marked by famous Franz Hermle & Sohn, with German ENDURA trademark. Movement model 340-020. Brass finished dial offers a silver chapter ring and decorative corner spandrels. Key-wound, Westminster chime movement comes with chime silence option, key included. Box measurements: Height: 13” (33 cm) Width: 10-1/2” (27 cm) Depth: 6” (15 cm) Back of the movement has inscription: 74 FHS germany 340-020 This clock houses ORIGINALY MARKED Franz Hermle & Son movement. It is original, complete, in good condition, running well and ready for use. It features Westminster chimes on the quarters and strikes the hours. The chime has shut-off lever. As many older original FHS movements works for 9 days (when fully wind up) and is not off even part of a minute. #340 020 is a Westminster chime mantel clock movement that has been available from Hermle for many years and is still being built today. Has 2 to 4 jewels. I believe that this clock belongs to a Limited Edition of ENDURA/FHS clocks produced by one of Hermle sons (Gebhard, Alfred, Hans or Heinrich) after Franz Hermle died in 1953 and they changed company name to Franz Hermle & Sohn (Postfach 1120, 78555Gosheim, Germany). As far as I know movement that I am offering was manufactured between late 50s and early 70s. Since 1930’s, the Hermle clock company was a world leader in the manufacturing of quality clock movements. Mostly Hermle makes the 340-020 for well-known American clock companies (such as Seth Thomas and Ingraham, Howard Miller, etc) those companies put their name on movement plate (along with model 340-020). But, it is not commonly known that Franz Hermle and Sohn produces a full line of quality clocks including a line of wooden grandfather clocks made in Germany like this one.
